Limited Flag: LimShows / NoMP3

Summer 2009 Update
"The show we are taping is next week, August 13, at Charter One Pavilion in Chicago. We will be recording the Chicago show for a cd/dvd to be released later this fall. For that reason we would like to notify our taping community in
advance and ask that they not tape this show and, for sure, not put the show
up on the archives should it somehow get taped.
-BSM"


Update- in early 2003 Jason Mraz posted a new formal policy, most current version at

linked from http://www.jasonmraz.com/tour.html

Pasted from that doc:

TAPING (Revised as of 15 March 2003)

Jason Mraz allows audio taping at almost every live performance. We feel that each show is unique and want to offer our fans the opportunity to recreate the live experience through the audio reproduction of our shows. At all taping authorized performances, tapers can tape from any ticketed seating location in the venue. Also, for many of these performances tapers are able to purchase tickets for a specially designated taper section, normally located immediately behind the soundboard. No soundboard or power feeds are provided. When Jason Mraz is not headlining a show we always defer to the taping policy of the headliner or the festival.

Taping is limited to audio-only, using only microphones. Please, no wireless receivers. We sincerely appreciate all of our fans, so we ask that you please be considerate of those around you by not obstructing anyone else's view of the performance. We do not allow still photography or video taping.

When taper tickets are available for a particular show, they are released concurrently with general seating tickets. To obtain designated taper tickets, contact the venue's box office.

All recordings must be used for personal use or trading only. Selling or commercializing any recording is illegal. Please read our Bootleg Statement for more information.

From time to time we may record some of our shows for a live album or DVD, and we may not allow taping at those shows or we may notify you that we are going to commercially release our tapes from the show at which time we will ask you to withdraw all of your tapes from that show(s) from further trading.

A notice to our fans about Bootleg Recordings:

We would like to let you know that Jason encourages the taping of his performances, but only for personal use, including trading, as outlined in the Taping Policy Statement.

We would be extremely grateful to any of you who pass along information about commercialized bootleg recordings. We encourage you to fax us the name and locations of any retailers or distributors of bootleg CD's along with the titles and quantities in stock. We can be reached by fax at 310-858-0648 attn: Mraz Info. Thanks.

No waiver of any copyright or trademark right is intended.
